Answering your question, the 1911 will easily stop a bear. The myth you need a 44 Mag and up is BULLSHIT, theres a video of a snowmobiler who drops a charging moose with a Glock 27 40SW. Shoot anyfucking thing in the head with a 40SW or 45ACP, or any boutique calibers like 357SIG and its going down. 9MM, not so much. Not reliable, prefer 38Spl to 9MM *NM*
